This study investigates the competing crystallization pathways and cold crystallization kinetics of the liquid crystal 10OS5, revealing that its thermal history can be manipulated to tune the energy released during phase transitions, thereby highlighting its potential for thermal energy storage applications.
This study utilizes a 7x7 silicon quantum dot array fabricated via 300 mm CMOS and EUV lithography to demonstrate that a 17 nm gate oxide thickness optimizes uniformity by minimizing threshold voltage variability, thereby providing critical design guidelines for scalable quantum computing architectures.
This paper establishes a novel methodology combining X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) with domain-adaptive machine learning to quantitatively probe non-equilibrium grain boundary dynamics in nanocrystalline silicon, successfully extracting key kinetic parameters from complex experimental fluctuation maps that were previously inaccessible.
This study demonstrates that the magnetic tunability of micrometer-scale FePt-based Janus particles is governed primarily by chemical ordering rather than particle curvature, as evidenced by experiments and simulations showing that coercivity remains constant across varying diameters while being strongly dependent on L1_0 ordering.
This paper introduces a symmetry-based framework using equivariant space groups to construct equivariant magnetic Hamiltonians (EMHs) that explicitly incorporate magnetic order parameters, enabling the study of magnetic-dynamics-driven topological phenomena and the accurate modeling of n-dependent band structures in both model and real materials.
This paper introduces RADAR-PD, a modality-aware machine learning framework that automates multiphase identification and refinement in both X-ray and neutron powder diffraction by combining mismatch-tolerant neural networks with physics-constrained verification to overcome existing bottlenecks in autonomous structural discovery.
This paper demonstrates that controlling the amount and geometry of deposited metal to induce "thermal crowding" allows for the precise manipulation of laser-induced fluid instabilities and pattern formation in nanoscale metal films through self-consistent modeling and time-dependent simulations.
This study demonstrates that in the kagome magnet YbFeGe, interactions between Fe and Yb moments induce a spin reorientation at low temperatures that closes the spin anisotropy gap and generates dynamic scalar spin chirality, resulting in an anomalous Hall effect despite the material's collinear antiferromagnetic order.
This paper demonstrates that a short time-to-solution Quantum Monte Carlo methodology, utilizing an embedded active site approach on a Pt(111) surface, accurately calculates CO hydrolysis activation barriers for hydrogen synthesis with a precision of approximately 1 kJ/mol, closely matching high-level configuration interaction benchmarks.
This paper demonstrates that twisted trilayer hexagonal boron nitride exhibits unique super Moiré domain tessellations and sliding ferroelectricity, enabling electric-field reconfigurable arrays of localized quantum dots that facilitate tunable long-range quantum state transfer for quantum technologies.
